On 19 May 2020, the European Commission (EC) launched an online consultation on European Green Deal Call under Horizon 2020, aiming at mobilising research and innovation to foster a just and sustainable societal transition. According to the EC, the projects will deliver tangible results relatively quickly and show how research and innovation can provide concrete solutions for the Green Deal main priorities. The Green Deal Call targets 11 areas, including 8 thematic areas, reflecting key workstreams of European Green Deal, and 3 horizontal areas which will focus on knowledge, citizens’ engagement and international cooperation. The aim of this Call is to support applications, projects and innovative products, innovation for better governance of the green and digital transition and social and value chain innovation.

The deadline of the online consultation is 3 June 2020. The EC aims to have the formal adoption of the Green Deal call by mid September 2020.
